Ngaire - I booked a couple shore excursions online for the 2nd segment of VIKING. My "already booked" area shows them and they have posted to my VISA card account.

As far as restaurant bookings go - there is a lot of fine print listed - see below - are they enforcing the policy regarding listing dinner companions?? In the past we could always just reserve a table and add dinner companions later.
